COVID-19 Vaccinations at Carrington Pharmacy — Fast, Safe & Professional Protection

The COVID-19 vaccine remains one of the most effective tools for protecting yourself and your loved ones from serious illness. At Carrington Pharmacy, we provide convenient access to NHS and private COVID-19 vaccinations, delivered by trained professionals in a safe, calm, and welcoming environment. Whether you are receiving your first dose, booster, or seasonal vaccination, our team is committed to delivering high-quality care tailored to your needs.

Why the COVID-19 Vaccine Matters

Although COVID-19 is now considered a part of everyday life, it still poses risks — particularly for older adults, those with underlying health conditions, and individuals who are regularly in close contact with others. Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of:

  • Severe illness

  • Hospitalisation

  • Long-term COVID-19 symptoms

  • Transmission to vulnerable individuals

By staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations, you help protect both yourself and your community.

Who Can Receive the COVID-19 Vaccine at Carrington Pharmacy?

We offer both NHS-funded vaccines for eligible groups and private vaccinations for individuals who are not eligible for a free dose but still want protection.

✔ NHS COVID-19 Vaccination Eligibility

You may qualify for a free NHS COVID-19 vaccine if you are:

  • Aged 65 or over

  • A resident in a care home

  • Pregnant

  • Aged 6 months or over with certain long-term medical conditions

  • A frontline health or social care worker

  • A household contact of someone with a weakened immune system

If you’re unsure about your eligibility, our team can check quickly during your visit.

✔ Private COVID-19 Vaccinations

For adults not eligible for the NHS vaccine, we offer an affordable private vaccination service to ensure everyone can access the protection they need.

Understanding COVID-19 Booster Vaccines

COVID-19 immunity can reduce over time, which is why booster doses are recommended — especially during the autumn/winter season when respiratory illnesses circulate more easily.

Booster doses help:

  • Restore protection levels

  • Reduce the severity of infection

  • Prevent complications

  • Lower the risk of long-term symptoms

Carrington Pharmacy provides seasonal boosters in line with NHS guidance.
